Ahoy There Maties and welcome to the "Original Gilligan's Island Fan Club 
Mailing List!"


There is a lot of stuff to cover this time around, so just sit right back
and you'll hear this tale...

You can watch the TV Movie "The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island" on
Disney East (Nov 26, 11:30pm) and Disney West (Nov 27, 2:30am).

The Fan Club has grown to about 600 so far. That's pretty good considering we
just started the on-line club a few months ago. Keep up the good work, and
promote this site to all of your friends. What ever you're doing, it's 
working because I see over 200 login's per day!

The island is in need of some help. I need somebody to be in charge of 
writing the daily trivia site questions. All you would have to do is think of
questions and enter them into our database. Pretty easy. If there are any 
volunteers out there please let me know. (Please give me your experience; 
books, knowledge of the show, videos, ect...)

The Professor has built a video board and we will start to see more pictures
here on the island, in color! Keep your eyes peeled for these new photo's.

More midi's are coming in all the time. We are currently working on Ginger's
famous "I Wanna Be Loved By You" song, and hope to have it up before the
next newsletter.

Still no word about the "Gilligan's Island Movie." If we hear of anything, 
we'll be sure to let you know.

The Message Area is still going strong with over 200 messages from other
Gilligan's Island fanatics. Just point your mouse to:

In the making is the live streaming video of the "Pilot Episode." If you have
never seen this before, then you will be able to see it live on the Internet
soon. 

Halloween has past and is gone. If you dressed up as one of the castaways,
send me a pic and I'll put it up on our page.

By now you should have found your favorite doll at Target. If the Target in 
your area still doesn't have any, the best thing to do is call the store 
manager and request that he order some. They are only $14.99 each, and they
are going very fast! Once these dolls are gone, they won't be coming back
as they are in a collectors series. Currently only the Professor, Gilligan
and the Skipper are available. More info on our site at:

http://www.lookup.com/homepages/58181/dolls.html

Columbia House has released the videos for the series and you can order them
on-line at:

http://www.lookup.com/homepages/58181/columbia.html

Walmart also has videos for sale as well. You get 2 episodes on a VHS for
about $7. They are produced by Time Warner Video.

If any of you are artists, then you can also send me your best picture of the
castaways, and I'll also put it up. It will be interesting to see what you
can come up with.

Recently we added interviews and biographies of some of the cast members.
Everything you wanted to know about the character's and the REAL actors are
located here:

About the CHAT AREA. It doesn't seem to be working too well. Since this
message will reach about 600 of you, I figure that this would be a good place
to organize a time for the chat room. We'll do it on Wednesday, November 
12th. We'll chat to our hearts content. Chat Here at:

http://www.lookup.com/homepages/58181/chat.html

Get your "Gilligan's Island Lotto Tickets" here at:

I've been told that they are running out so you better hurry while they last.
The price is at cost, and you can't get a better deal than that.

Gotta go now. The Professor thinks that he fixed the lunar lander camera and
we need to test it out. Hopefully we'll see you on the mainland soon.
